The first Travel Therapy book signing event is coming up this Thursday night, May 14, at the Borders at 10 Columbus Circle in New York City but hold onto your luggage because at this FREE event there are going to be some serious surprises! Besides free giveaways of signed copies of Travel Therapy: Where Do You Need to Go? and drawings for Travel Therapy escapes like free spa treatments, we’re also having the world premiere of the Travel Therapy song!
The Travel Therapy song is produced by a Grammy award-winning artist who has worked with music legends like Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins, Bette Midler and Suzanne Vega and is the first theme song ever created specifically for a book with the lyrics written by the author!
I got the idea to create the Travel Therapy song after meeting international singer/songwriter Rob Holub who moved from Switzerland to New York City to continue promoting his music career. Every time Rob plays the piano I think of a music score because there’s an uplifting, storytelling quality that reaches out and wraps itself around you.
I was talking to him about how movies and television shows have theme songs so why not a book and he agreed if I wrote the lyrics he would create and perform the Travel Therapy song. The lyrics were already in my head as I had just finished the book and they poured out of my heart onto paper in less than an hour. Sometimes you just know when you’re doing the right thing.
The song is the perfect fit for the book that’s all about picking the trip that’s right for you based on what you’re going through in life. With eleven chapters and more than 100 inspiring destinations and glossy color photographs Travel Therapy: Where Do You Need to Go? is a timeless book you can turn to time and time again to help you plan your vacations!
The whole idea behind having a theme song for the Travel Therapy book is that in these tough economic times even if you can’t afford to travel right now you can get a copy of the book and download the song and still feel the inspiration and positive impact of travel and this can keep you going while you’re planning your next trip!
At the Borders book talk and signing Rob will be performing the Travel Therapy song for the first time and then there will be a special link on this website where you can download the song from iTunes, etc.
The free Travel Therapy book event at Borders starts at 7p.m. and will absolutely be one to remember. I hope if you’re in New York City this week you’ll have the chance to come by and hear the world premiere of the Travel Therapy song at this free event and say hello to Rob and I, we’d love to share the magic of Travel Therapy with you!
Also stay tuned tomorrow for our next Travel Tuesdays feature where we’ll highlight the latest travel specials and deals this week to help you plan your next Travel Therapy trip!
